Good campus with friendly people.

Tips: Drexel as a university has a mix of academic rigour and a more practical experience which ultimately benefits in the workplace scenario. By studying here, I have learnt the need to stay organised and manage my time well as even a slight misbalance can lead to a lot of stress. There are lots of Indian food options available but it might be costly to eat out most of the days so cooking can be the best alternative. The faculty is very helpful, friendly and supportive and you can reach out to them i...

Learning a lot with supportive and understanding faculty.

Tips: Studying at Drexel is truly very unique experience among the usual college experience in the United States. But the co-op programme is something you should really look into as this will make you realise the true potential of networking in an experiential learning setting and how far it can go. There are lots of job opportunities so start looking for them during your last semester. Do participate in clubs, seminars, activities and events. Overall, I had a good experience.

Easy transition to the new environment.

Tips: Overall satisfaction (for MS in MLE): 4/5 I have a partial scholarship. Drexel has many international students, and this helped me transition easier to the new environment. I met some of my friends by being a part of Drexel's clubs like SWE and WiCS.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are usually approachable, and willing to help students. Drexel follows a quarter system, and the College of Engineering is quite research-oriented. The classes have a good mix of theoretical and project-based activities. Most of ...

The university provided a very unique and interesting experience.

Tips: Studying at Drexel University has given me an ideal academic and social experience. The major highlight here for me was the co-op programme which allows you to have a more practical experience of whatever you are learning in the classrooms. My advice is that you start your co-op search early and get help from the academic services.

Everything is good except for its tuition fees which is a lot compared to other universities.

Tips: I came to Drexel University directly, and there is a shift in culture which obviously different from my country India. I got dean assistantship and there is no other scholarship in CCI for Computer Science, Data Science, Information Science. You can apply for external scholarships.

Likes (Public transportation): There are university buses, public transport which is very handy to travel place to place. It is not totally connected to the city, but it is only 10-15 mins away which we can go by public or Drexel transportation. The...

Decent college that provides good education.

Tips: Students should learn to be self-sufficient fundamentally and emotionally. It is important that you take some time before the commencement of your classes to simply explore campus and be a part of as many cultural and peer groups as you can handle, at least initially.

Be open mindedness to success.

Tips: Before joining Drexel be sure to know what you want to do in your career because it is important that the kind of work you would like to do has to light with your academic progression. It would be slightly more difficult to learn a subject differently in academics and transition into a field that has no relation to what you studied or researched.

The coursework is fast paced and the education system is quite good.

Tips: Students should be aware that the university coursework is fast paced and it runs in a quarter system which in the initial days is difficult to coup. Later on, adapting to the culture of USA education system is also quite difficult in the starting if you are not open minded. Also, the education and the delivery of the course is quite good and so far everything is going on well and good.

Drexel, a life of hustle that pays off.

Tips: Students must make up their mind to adapt to a hustle life since the quarter system is fast and demanding. Culturally, there were no problems for me personally. Scholarships depend on your academic integrity and accomplishments. You can apply for external scholarships if you have the backing of a professor and meet the requirements for the scholarship/fellowship.

Likes (Student Life): Drexel has decent amenities like a park and a recreational center for sports that students can use to catch up on their personal life....

Hectic but worth the struggle.

Tips: Quarter system is followed, and for Masters degree you need to complete 45 credits in 2 and a half months. Whereas, other universities graduate students need to complete 30 credit in 5 months, hence it is very hectic and stressful to manage initially.

Likes (Student Life): There are a lot of student networking events, cultural and diversity events where students can participate. There are several clubs and associations where student can take part, and can join in arts, robotics, and musical clubs. There are graduate s...

At Drexel University you need to put effort on your own.

Tips: Students coming here should thoroughly review the course and because it is the quarter system it is going to be very fast-paced so need to cope up with it. I emailed the admission team to request a scholarship and received around 12000$. I would say after my first quarter the course taught was interesting you should put your efforts into learning and ask questions to professors.
